These claims have sparked new conversations online and reignited public concern over how the investigation into Mohbad’s case has been handled. Here’s a breakdown of what’s being said, how those involved have responded, and why this is drawing attention.
What Did VeryDarkMan Say?
In his latest video posted on July 26, 2025, VeryDarkMan alleged that Iyabo Ojo was the brain behind a WhatsApp group that involved several key entertainment figures. According to him, this group wasn’t created to support Mohbad’s family but rather to control the story and manipulate public opinion.
He claims:
The group planned his arrest following his persistent calls for a DNA test on Mohbad’s son. A nude video of him, which recently went viral, was allegedly leaked as part of their strategy to discredit him. He believes these individuals were more interested in protecting certain interests than finding the truth.
He accused them of using social media to divert attention from the real issues surrounding the late singer’s death.
Who Are the Celebrities Named?
Iyabo Ojo: A popular Nollywood actress known for her active voice during Mohbad’s early justice campaign. She has yet to respond to these specific accusations. Samklef: A music producer who was vocal about Mohbad’s case in the beginning. He has denied the allegations, stating the WhatsApp group was formed to unite people for justice, not to silence critics. Dre: Associated with Davido’s PR team, Dre is said to be part of the group chat, although he hasn’t issued any public response. Jigan Baba Oja: Actor and comedian who was also named but has remained silent as of the time of writing.
What Was the Group’s Alleged Purpose?
According to VeryDarkMan, the WhatsApp group was created as a tool to control the public narrative. He believes that the people involved were determined to keep certain questions—especially around the singer’s child and cause of death—off-limits. He says his arrest and media attacks were coordinated efforts by this group to shut him down.
He insists that the calls he made for transparency and accountability were not welcomed by some of the so-called justice advocates.
Samklef’s Response
Samklef has been the most vocal among those accused. He responded with a series of posts denying all the claims, calling VeryDarkMan a clout-chaser. He insists the group was not secret, and it was meant to bring fans and industry players together to demand answers regarding Mohbad’s death. According to Samklef, no plots were made to sabotage VeryDarkMan or mislead the public.
He also challenged VeryDarkMan to release full proof—especially screenshots or chat history—that show any coordinated effort to derail justice.
The Bigger Picture: Why This Matters
Mohbad’s death in September 2023 shook the country. Public pressure forced authorities to begin an investigation, and several entertainers and influencers rallied around his family. However, since then, questions have continued to arise about the sincerity of some of those involved.
The new claims from VeryDarkMan could either force more transparency or damage reputations depending on what evidence he can present. The key concern among fans and observers is whether justice for Mohbad has been politicised or commercialised by people who claimed to be helping.
What Are People Saying?
Reactions online have been divided. Some believe VeryDarkMan has raised important points that deserve answers, especially considering how quickly some people backed away from the case once it lost social media traction. Others think he’s using the controversy to regain attention and increase his reach after weeks of being offline.
Many fans are now demanding that:
Iyabo Ojo respond directly to the allegations. The group chat screenshots be made public. Public figures who claimed to be fighting for justice explain their roles more clearly.
What’s Next?
As of now, Iyabo Ojo and Dre have not publicly addressed the accusations. VeryDarkMan has promised to release more details if pushed. Meanwhile, Mohbad’s fans are watching closely, hoping these renewed controversies don’t derail whatever progress has been made in the investigation.
This story is still developing. Whether more receipts will be shared or more names will be dragged in remains to be seen. What’s certain is that the case has taken a dramatic new direction that may either bring clarity—or spark even more confusion.
